    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Wonders of the Multiverse

    called it! woohoo! given what aspects they're focusing on in UA I think they're going to start with Planes on the Lawful side of the Wheel.

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    we're operating on different systems of thought my only requirement first be playing Jammers that it takes place on the astral plane. You seem to think that it absolutely must have sigil in it in order to count. Therefore I am ending the discussion

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    it's not semantics. I'm not talking about the specifics of what this book is. I'm talking about the cosmology. By putting spelljammer in the astral plane it's automatically planeJammer. it doesn't have to have Blood Wars, Sigil, or Factions to qualify as planeJammer. that's you arguing...

    Astral Sea, yes. Direct sailing to outer planes,yes. No phlogiston or crystal spheres? Gith and Illithids, yes. planejammer

    To me, they're saying that the Astral Sea is on the Astral Plane. It's like the phlogiston that flows from Crystal sphere to Crystal sphere.

    Our group never went to sigil I think except for our tavern group meeting in the first session. We spent all of our time in the outlands

    Two birds with one stone - Psionics for all of D&D is introduced and codified because of Dark Sun.

    No, but I think people are calling it planejammer as aspirational not factual. It's basically a 3-hour tour from spell jammer to plane jammer now.

    Along with Dark Sun. Those will be the last settings introduced before the 5.5 50th anniversary mega year I bet

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    OMG i am just floored by this book and I'm only at page 19. And I just came across the precedent for making Spelljammer Astral. Emphasis mine. Sailing: Most humanoids think of the silver astral realm as a sea. Astral skiffs, planar dromonds, spell· jammers, githyanki pirate ships, quom...

    Because I completely skipped 4th edition I never knew about this title and now it's on my must-have list. It looks really cool. I know what I'll be reading all weekend long. Thanks for mentioning it.

    Gate towns under siege is eerily analogous to current world events, sadly.

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    Which got me to thinking that Spelljammer ships can be used in the Outlands. However, the ships require magic to operate. There fore they can't be used the closer to the Spire you get. But near the Gate Towns and Outer Edges, you could field and fuel vast armadas of Planejammer ships, each...

    It just occurred to me that by moving Spelljammer to the Astral, it integrates the Gith and Illithid races to Spelljammer in a very rational manner.

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    It just occurred to me that since they're moving spell jammer to the astral and not having phlogiston or Crystal spheres there's no reason not to suppose the crystal spheres and phlogiston still exists. They're just in the Ethereal where they have always been. Spell jammer just doesn't take...

    Basically both concepts are versions of gravity Wells. The Silvery mist are just more fluid and the crystal spheres are solid and fixed.

    RPG Evolution: D&D's Missing Archetypes

    In my group, our book nerd, would do Knowledge checks to acquire (or recalled) factoids about a creature new to us. Your brain points idea is cool if you jave to spend more the more specific you're being. as examples, it takes two points to know if they have a breath/ranged weapon. It takes...
